To find that out the way is

http://service.sap.com/pam

select "SAP R/3 4.6c"

click on "database server"

It's supported, yes. You need to install the kernel 46D_EX2 to run against an Oracle 10g.

are you going to 64-bit harsdware and software at the same time?

copying database from win2000 to win2003 will work.

Your plan looks good - but 4.6c is VERY old software and you should consider upgrading
